Samuel Richards, an internationally acclaimed documentary filmmaker, shifts his focus to the world of still photography. His latest exhibition NEW YORK CALLING, magnifies the inextricable link between the vibrant, diverse and gritty city of New York and the omnipresence of technology.
Through his lens, Samuel captures the candid, humorous and sometimes confronting moments that make up ‘Big Apple’ life. But, the exhibit bifurcates within each image by showcasing the cultural heart of arguably the most iconic city in the world, and the umbilical cord we hold on to in the form of devices.
Drawing from Richards’ experience in film of genuine, of-the-moment-storytelling, the collection of work challenges the viewer to pay attention to the contrast of simultaneously being at the center of the world, while holding the world, in the palm of your hands.
